Kris Dunn said he is "definitely going through it" when asked about his recent slump.

"It's part of the NBA. It's on me to find a way to get out of it," Dunn added. "I feel like I'm getting to my spots and it's just not knocking down right now." Mark Strotman of NBC Sports Chicago broke down Dunn's recent stretch of games and found that he is still being aggressive and is 14th in the NBA with 13.8 drives per game, but his mid-range shot has abandoned him -- he was hitting 54% on shots 8 to 16 feet away in his first 13 games back from his knee injury, but since their West Coast trip he's hitting just 30% from that same area. Hopefully a game against Cleveland's 30th ranked defense on Monday will get him going. Jan 21 - 9:34 AM

Kris Dunn had another rough night shooting the basketball, scoring six points on 3-of-14 shooting while also accounting for five assists, four rebounds and two steals Saturday vs. the Heat.

Dunn's shooting 46.1% from the field and 33.3% from three this season, but he's been much worse in those areas in recent games. Over his last five the third-year guard is shooting just 28.6% from the field and 25.0% from three, and he's averaging just 6.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. It might be time to sideline Dunn until he produces consistently in a Bulls system that has slowed things down tempo-wise. Jan 20 - 12:44 AM

Kris Dunn made just 3-of-8 from the field for six points with one rebound, three assists and one turnover in 30 minutes against the Nuggets on Thursday.

He hasn't scored more than 10 points in each of his last four games, averaging just 7.0 points per outing. Dunn's usage rate plummets when he's next to Zach LaVine, but his assists were hanging around nine per 36 minutes next to LaVine before today's dud. He still has some work to do to live up to his ADP. Jan 17 - 11:13 PM

Kris Dunn acknowledged that he's still trying to figure out Jim Boylen's system.

"It’s a new system," Dunn said. "We’re still trying to figure it out. We’re still trying to figure each other out. It’s going to take time. Everybody’s got to bear with us." Dunn has been slumping over the past three games, connecting on just 29.6% of his field goal attempts, and it's not like Boylen's system is putting him in a situation to succeed. He should turn things around at some point, but the slowed-down tempo in Chicago since Boylen took over has been a drag on pretty much everyone. Jan 17 - 11:52 AM

Denzel Valentine underwent a left ankle stabilization procedure on Tuesday and he will be out for the 2018-19 season.

He is anticipated to return to full basketball activities in approximately six months. It's been a rough year for Valentine with the Bulls continuing to push his target date back, so hopefully six months from now he can get going on rehab.

Wendell Carter Jr. (left thumb) will undergo surgery on Monday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Carter Jr. underwent more tests to determine if surgery was needed and it looks like those tests went badly. It seems likely that he'll be sidelined for the rest of the season because he'll be out for up to three months, per Charania. Bobby Portis will gain the most from WCJ's absence, with Robin Lopez and Jabari Parker seeing time until the trade deadline passes. Cristiano Felicio will likely play some, as well, and is a target for deeper league owners.
